lm_sensors and GeForce 6800 gpu temperature

[Alexander Linkenbach]

Hi
I seem to remember that a while ago just after I bought my Geforce 6800 I
had the temperature of the gpu in my gkrellm. But that was still with
SuSE9.3. I did a few installs from scratch recently (until I found out that
one of my Ram chips was shagged yesterday) and have not seen the
temoperature indicator since in sensors. Cpu and MB temp plus associated
fan speed are fine. What's the required sensor module (although I am sure I
did not have to manually adjust anything, it must have come up with
sensors-detect at that time).

Tried dropping into the gkrellm configuration and turning on (Place
check marks behind) the sensors/temperatures/nVidia Gpu
[Core,Ambient] options? Yes/No?

Max

No, didn't. Cause it's not there.
I did install the driver from the Nvidia site (instead of the one supplied
from SuSE via you) which gave me nvidia-settings. At least I can now read
the temps with that.
Thanks
